#Sweetheart Chrys

[ejunkiet]

end of year round up (rec list!)

rec lists are a forgotten art in fandom, and I've read so many good fics this year. below are a few of my favourites, although I'll stick with one from each author!

redacted audio - full ao3 bookmarks (94)

- burn me, Asher/Damien by @dominimoonbeam

this was my first bookmark, and it remains one of my favourites. the dynamic is just, so good. ash balances out damien so well. (domini we love all of your work <33)

- I'm out of my element, HuxDami by @jonbinary

set immediately post inversion, and got me on this TRAIN before canon was a thing. Just, gorgeous and tender writing ;u;

- old number seven, Sam/Darlin by @devilbunnyking

Gods, this was stunning. slow rolling tension, sharing a whiskey and plugging tunes in the juke box. Beautiful exploration of both of them!!

- apple and honey, Milo/Sweetheart (18+) by @onesmallcentury

Any redacted reclist would be incomplete without this MASTERPIECE okay. Gods, I cannot count how many times I've reread this. Delicious, gorgeous <3

- refractions, Gavin/Freelancer by @solclaw

The emotional slow burn of those early dates. Just, goddamn stunning. I could curl up in your writing forever, beanie ;u;

- commit it to memory, Huxley/Freelancer by @sealriously-sealrious

honestly, want to link all your writing here Chrys, but this is Huxley! With tattoos!! And @taelonsamada 's gorgeous art!!! MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

- SWEET TALK, Milo/Sweetheart by @gingerbreadmonsters

this whole series is a MASTERPIECE. the dynamics!! The banter!! It makes me melt okay. all your writing is lovely, but this series holds a special place in my heart <3

- Signs Point to Yes, Milo/Sweetheart (18+) by @wakeupnew

On the subject of Milo and SH, this story has been living rent free in my mind for the last few weeks. The eight ball quotes! AGGRO! The dynamic of these two are just perfect, dealing with the inversion aftermath, and it's just gorgeous.

- fill my heart with song (and let me sing), Milo/Sweetheart (18+) by @autisticempathydaemon

Again on the subject of these two, I absolutely loved this fic. I love all of Lexi's work, but this was delicious 😚💖

- Let's make this night last forever (forever and ever), Milo/Sweetheart (18+) by @glassbearclock

Okay, this FIC. ALL OF BEAN'S MILO FICS. It's a beautiful chronology, but this one is just, fecking fantastic.

- ad astra (per aspera), Avior/Starlight by @lvllns

Starlight and Avior break out of the meridian. Gods, this is absolutely stunning. I love Reed's work, and I'm so very happy I got them into redacted >:3

- An Angel In Wolf's Clothing, David/Angel (no Tumblr?)

FINALLY David makes it onto this list. I've read this story SO MANY TIMES. Gorgeous early revelation exploration, where Davey tells Angel that he's a wolf.

- return to shore, imp!David/angel by @taelonsamada

THE IMPERIUM AU OF MY DREAMS. Giving David and Sam the chance they never had to find happiness in the Imperium. SO PERFECT ;u;

- phases of you, David/angel (no Tumblr! 18+)

Gods, this is one of my favourite redacted fics. Reimagines David and angel's relationship if Angel was a wolf, and they were mated before Gabe died. Long fic!! Had me obsessed for a weekend. Still obsessed hehehe

- (Gonna make you) howl, David/Angel (18+) by @romirola

>:3 Romi's work is gorgeous, and I recommend all of her fics, but THIS FIC. Angel pampers David, and it is GORGEOUS.

- Halley's comet, Elliot/Sunshine (no Tumblr)

GORGEOUS. There are not enough Elliot/Sunshine fics!!! Elliot asks sunshine for 7 days to prove that he is a dream walker.

- California nights, Milo/Sweetheart (18+) by @thee-morrigan

Again, I love Katie's writing, and this is no exception. DELICIOUS 😚💖💖

(also forgive me but i'm not making banners for ocs i hardly ever talk about any more, so this post is gonna be mostly text. if you want images of anyone i can share, but i just don't have energy to make new banners and i still want to actually post this so, please forgive me <3)

favorite oc

she's my baby girl right now. she's got the most space in my head, at all times i am thinking of her. she owns me and i'm not sorry. this is micah's world, i'm just here to serve her, and i would not have it any other way

honorable mentions: niamh gannon & beauregard barrett

they've been with me the longest and once had the strongest hold on me for more than a decade. they're two very formative characters for me and i will always have tiny palaces in my heart for both of them

oldest oc

niamh gannon

as far as fandom ocs that i've written and shared anywhere online, ni is the first baby girl. i started writing her when she was just a wee 11 year old student all the way through to her adult life as a wife, mother, and badass. she's the most developed oc i have, because i spent decades writing her. (she's also a bit of a precursor to what lore eventually became)

newest oc

i've got a few newer concepts circling, but as far as ocs that fully exist, lil is still the newbie on the team. she's a fun way to stretch and do some things i've never dared try before. fiery little pistol and demon who is out to create chaos in an act of revenge against a world that's wronged her

meanest oc

this is a hard one! i have several evil ocs, but they're not necessarily mean in any traditional sense. they play politics too well for that, though they can be underhanded and they'll fuck you up. of the ones i talk about here, it's probably either lilith or bowie, but neither of them are mean, exactly. lilith just wants to lash out and hurt everyone, and bowie is just blunt and crass. of my older ocs, there's fletch, who's a dumbfuck gay werewolf with a chip on his shoulder and no filters. and daphne, who's the evilest monster you'll ever meet: she wants to cut you open and splay your insides while you're still alive, but she'll talk so sweetly to your face. there's leona and lysandra, who are daddy's girls and spoiled brats. there's lux, who wants to look like a bad boy and live up to his evil father's legacy, but mostly he's just an asshole. and his father, chrys, who is evil. he trains monstrous dogs that are built to attack people. also he's a ruthless murderer but he's a suave and smooth politician, so you'll never catch him. also there's rand, my evil alpha werewolf man. then there's alfie, an absolute shithead of a bully and a punk, but he's really just a sad lonely idiot. there's torvald and romeo, my supercreeps. elena my snarky little shit who lashes out and hates everyone.

yeah, this is too hard, i have several meanies.

softest oc

none of the ocs i talk about here are soft in the least. but i have some old ones who are total cinnamon rolls. dierdre delaney is a soft sweetheart of a seer. there's bethy baby, bethany, who is a shy tiny pixie girl who is full of love and sunshine. liam who is a soft gentle romantic soul. naveen who is a sweet little nerd. rune, my soft gentle werewolf boy. olwen, who is gentle like a fairy. sienna my sweet little miracle baby. kaz the softest cuddliest kindest doctor you'll ever meet. teddy, the most cinnamon roll to ever cinnamon roll. ajlgdjlg agh i can't any more, the soft ones make my heart and teeth ache and i'm missing them so much now

most aloof/standoffish oc

i'm gonna give this one to micah, though some of my older kids could probably show her up on it. she's the one of my current stable that has the most trouble interacting with people.

smartest oc

nora by a landslide. she's a certified genius and a savant. the woman knows all.

dumbest (affectionate) oc

oh boy let me tell you, i love making himbos. fletch is one of them, what an idiot. there's rory who's a hardheaded dick. there's junior, declan, and nate, who are the pinnacle of himboness. there's cosmo, my silly class clown boy. there's virgil the clueless. there's pillip, who's theme song is literally 'stupid boy'. and then there's emmy, my flighty fashion icon

oc i'd be friends with irl

giving this one to the jameson sisters. they're the kind of friends anyone would want, imo. (there's a lot of my oldbies i'd put here, too, but this post is too long already)

if you bothered to read all that nonsense, i owe you a kiss or a cookie <3 thanks for listening to me ramble incoherently about ocs i never share any more lmao

Cu-wip-osity Tag Game~!

Thank you @bvbyphoenix for tagging me!

(My main was tagged, but I'm posting this here to keep writing to the writing blog~)

Rules: reveal the titles of the documents in your WIP folder and tag as many people as there are documents. (I'll only include fandom-relevant ones for this post, and idk many people in the fandom, so if you see this: Tag! You're it!)

WIPs:

ets log: rec(Obsession.lov) Part [2]: Eden(Love) manages to recover her Obsession code successfully, as it's become her only reason for living. She continues trying to hold onto the code without it being found and removed again, while also obeying ETS's tests so she can get outside the facility and start looking for Marcus again.

Part [3] will be her excursions outside, mostly about clubs and parties she goes to between her work (which I'm making that she has to find a proper "opening" or something to the Meridian). ETS allows her to have fun so she can learn better how to blend in with people, but truthfully, she's gathering info about Marcus's wherabouts.

Untitled: A brief drabble that takes place during Inversion: Another Story about how Chelsie is glad Kody got kicked out so he wouldn't have to be in that situation.

Untitled: Kody is talking with his therapist about people can be burdened with grief even without the physical death of another.

A Clearing in the Algae: An update on Chelsie and Kody, and how things are starting to get better for them.

Imperium Willow(Darlin'): I admittedly forgot why I wanted to write this oops- Willow manages to survive this AU, and swears revenge after holding David's lifeless body in her arms.

Aftershock: Another Lament: I still want to work on this okay- But just for fun, I'll briefly list the parts I had in mind for it:

P1 - Angel: How Angel is doing after hearing about David's death. Will end with Milo and Chrys(Sweetheart) trying to reach her so she's not alone.

P2 - Alpha: Asher is having nightmares, and he and Emmanuel(Baabe) talk about Asher's becoming Alpha, and how he would rather have David back.

P3 - Sire: An update on Vincent and Gracie(Lovely). Will end vaguely in order to branch off with the person they chose to let Vincent turn.

P4 - The 69: Huxley was chosen to be reborn in Route 1. After being greeted by Vincent, Lasko (wearing an eyepatch) and Damien (in a wheelchair) enter to check on him. They discuss what happened and grieve their losses, while also including the fact that Gavin returned to Aria for an undetermined amount of time.

P5 - Detective: Milo is having nightmares about being outside the ward watching people die. Chrys tries to reassure him, and they continue into talk about the investigation. Chrys is on leave do to their motorcycle injury, but has received a promotion due to their work during the Inversion.

P6 - Healer: Willow joins Sam alone on a rooftop to reflect on the Inversion. She asks about how the kids are doing, and Sam provides updates. He also mentions that D.A.M.N. is now extremely shortstaffed, but they're having a flood of people wanting to study healing, and they've offered him a job knowing he's very skilled in that area. Willow thinks he should accept the offer, but he's not sure if teaching is what he wants to do.

P7 - The Freelancer: Cora was chosen to be reborn in Route 2. After being greeted by Vincent, Gavin and Caelum enter to check on her. They discuss what happened, including Lasko and Damien being in the hospital, and grieve their losses.

P8 - Dreamer: To end the series, we cut to Jessi(Blake's Listener) and Blake out on a date. Blake basically goes "uhuhu according to keikaku" while Jessi has no clue that her bf is a psycho.

Pending P? - Sister: This was a bonus chapter I've already sorta decided to pull, but it was going to purely revolve around my Blake's Sister OC Ava, and her feelings about this new case opening up as a result of the Invesion. This includes the police chief asking her (probably offscreen) if she'll be able to handle a case that involves her sibling, and revealing to Kieran (maybe Chrys on call) that the dreamwalker that interfered may be her brother. She reveals to them that while the two had a tense relationship growing up, and haven't spoken in years, she still loves her brother as a family member and may find it difficult to combat him.

Lovestruck: This drabble series has 3 chapters already, but here's my super secret list of other drabbles with their songs that I intended to write but haven't gotten to:

All of Me or Everytime We Touch- David/Angie

Drag Me Down - Emmy/Asher

Stereo Hearts x Zaalima - Milo/Chrys

Love Me Like You Do [Cello/Piano]  - Vincent/Gracie

*I Like It [Remix] - Amalia (OC)/Briar(Bright Eyes)

*I Like It [Remix] - Fred/Ryder (OC)

*This one was technically the next one I intended to write, and was left off in progress. It's going to be a double-drabble.

Rather Be - Avior/Stella

Birds of a Feather - Elliot/Sunny(Sunshine)

Hypnotic - Vega/Hydra(Warden)

Fever Dream or Shut Up and Dance - Blake/Jessi

Burn Break Crash or Accidentally in Love - Guy/Amy(Honey)

Can’t Help Falling in Love [Dark ver] - Ivan/Rivka(Baby)

Glad You Came - Kieran (OC)/Lasko

A Thousand Years ["Wedding" Ver] - Will/Kalila (OC) [Probably won't make]

Fever Dream - [Bonus gn listener if I feel like it] James/"Darling" (This was before he had a real listener, lmao. I don't actually know what the listener's name is though...)

Bad Things Happen Bingo (for Redacted):

Hanahaki: I've had an idea scribbled down to write this for Sam and Willow, specifically Sam since I've been enjoying the one-sided yearning on his part, ehehe~

Basically, Sam gets Hanahaki Disease, and the clan is trying to figure out what's wrong with him. William cites that it's an old and rare disease he hasn't seen in a while, and tbh, I have no idea how else it would go other than that, lol.

Locked in a Cage: Angie(Angel) right before her execution in the Imperium.

This is For Your Own Good: Avior realizes he completely fucked up handling Stella's(Starlight's) memory loss. Before their relationship shatters beyond repair, he holds her down and erases her memories to have one more shot...again.

Vague Ideas:

Vega/Warden: I just wanted to write about Hydra, and reference how she's friends with Caelum 💞

Vaelum Fluff: ...Okay soooo I kinda want to make a Vega/Caelum fic, but I don't really have any ideas for how to go about writing it, so it's just been a desire of mine silently floating through the void. I just know I want it to be soft and fluffy 💕

Kody Redemption P?: Maybe or maybe not a part where Chelsie goes to get her things back from her ex, but he tricks her into getting her alone so he can hurt her. Chelsie manages to reach Kody and in a very melodramatic fashion, Kody goes fisticuffs with her ex. He somehow gets out of it less harmed than Chelsie is, so she ends up in the hospital longer. This will be the second time she meets Damien, who will now be in a wheelchair.

Kody Redemption P?: I did want to include somewhere that he started going back to college somewhere else and met a cute and sweet girl that he likes and likes him back. It will also touch on how he slips back into his bad habits of stalking and possessiveness, but whether he stops talking to the girl or forces himself to correct his behaviours, I haven't decided yet.

Quinn Arc Shorts [My Ver]: I did intend once upon a time to fill in some of those blanks that Yours in Eternity, My Dearest had about what was going on with Quinn, but I'm not sure I have the desire to anymore honestly. I still have the spot reserved for it tho.

Vincent/Gracie&Dana(Stranger) Date OR Future Vincent/Dana: I have tossed the idea around to expand on Never Let You Go Again a little and have the three of them doing stuff together one day. I also had the idea of distant future Vincent after Gracie's passed away and how he and Dana start to hook up {Vampire/Mermaid couple anyone??] but idkkkk

Princess Cadenza and Shining Armor Redesigns!

Okay so foreword I’ve kind of changed how alicorns work. When they initially become alicorns, they look like normal ponies but obviously with horn and wings. The longer they live the bigger they get. If power is given to them (like when Luna and Celestia give Twi their power) they will hit a growth spurt due to all the sudden magic (which is how Twilight sprang to Celestia’s height seemingly so quickly). Anyways the more ancient alicorns are, they less they seem like ponies. They become pony-like, yet something always seems off about them. It’s too much magic for a mortal pony to understand, so the brain makes the alicorn look normal. Super ancient ones, like Celestia and Luna, have become almost completely one with the sky. They can manifest physical forms when needed. They are more like goddesses at this point, whereas Cadenza is more of a normal princess (for now).

Anyways~ these two are T4T and wlw ‘n mlm solidarity (get it? bc theyre both bi)

I wanted Shining to look more like his sis. When his mane is out of its ponytail it’s almost the same as canon twi’s. Oh also I like to think Twi’s family isn’t as high of a level of unicorns, so they don’t get unicorn tails (except for when Twi becomes an alicorn). He had to shave it for work, but he has a unicorn beard. He’s still the leader of the guards. His title doesn’t change after he marries Cadenza. He has trouble sleeping and makes friends with Luna when she returns because of this. He is Cadenza’s biggest supporter. 

Cadenza is kind and quiet. She loves being around the fillies and colts and they love being around her, too. Just like in Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell, she was adopted as a young pegasi by some Earth ponies in a town outside of Canterlot. On one of her days back from high school, she helps her village stop Prismia. Princess Celestia tells her this was a sign she must become a princess. The pressure from Celestia made her agree. She hides it well, but sometimes she resents being an alicorn princess. She would have rather helped her people as just herself, instead of this idolized pony. Her and Twi become close because of that. 

Similar to canon, they were high school sweethearts! He knew her before she became an alicorn (she became one around the time they were halfway in high school or whatever the pony equivalent is). She slowly gets bigger as shown by my size chart (shining armor is the size of my alicorn twilight design). Oh and they actually don’t live in the castle (Cadenza feels weird living in there). They are the rulers of the people and are very well loved (even my Sunset respects her ways). 

She also used to date Chrysalis and when Chrys gets redeemed they get back together (a throuple!) They also adopt Cozy Glow too.

yes you can draw this design! just @ me to give me credit!

(Clone Wars) The Awkward Chronicles: Clone Wars Edition

(Author's Note: Wooo, here we go, fam.

Join Rex, Fives, Jesse, Dogma, and Kix for some embarrassing encounters.

Warnings: embarrassing situations, second-hand embarrassment).

Rex was explaining the situation a little more thoroughly than he needed to, but out of courtesy and respect for the captain, you put on an attentive expression and listened despite how exhausted you were. The last few evenings had not been too kind to you, and you were going on less than six hours of sleep each night. Rex’s strategies were usually pretty straightforward, but Skywalker’s input was easily recognizable when the strategy took a turn and became a little more complicated.

Rex pointed to the holodiagram with each part of the strategy, and your eyes followed along.

“Now, remember,” he said for the second time. “This will only work if you and your squad is there on time.”

You nodded quickly, finally feeling your patience wear a little thin. “Yeah, yeah, Anakin, just make sure your squad is there,” you rushed. The look on Rex’s face made you realize your mistake. He had gone silent, eyes widening slightly for a moment before his brows pulled down in offense. “Oh, I’m sorry,” you apologized, instantly regretting your bout of impatience. “This is a great strategy which I’m sure will be very effective. I’m just a little tired is all.”

Rex’s brows rose then. “It’s fine. Just…” He paused, lips quirking slightly in an amused expression. “I an a clone. There are quite a few men out there that I share a likeness with, yet you called me ‘Anakin.’”

You pinched the bridge of your nose in embarrassment. “I know. I’m sorry.”

Rex’s smirk grew into one of those rare smiles, the ones that usually only came out when he was joking around with the men on leave. “Why don’t you get some rest? We’ll talk strategy later.”

You smiled sheepishly and nodded, though grateful to have been given an out. You’d definitely be more up for this conversation later after a nap.

- - - -

You were so going to kill him.

Even from your favorite booth in the corner away from all the commotion at 79’s, your face flushed. Fives had taken the liberty of setting you up on a blind date. With a trooper. A trooper you’d never met before. He had given you 79’s as the location and left you with a short and rather vague-as you’d come to realize- description of the man.

“His name’s Chrys, and he’s got the standard trooper haircut,” he had explained over the comm. “But he’s not hard to miss; he’s got a tattoo of the Republic symbol.”

Did Fives have any idea how many troops had that symbol at the 79’s tonight? Some had it tattooed on the side of their forehead, placed in a similar spot to where Fives had his signature “5.” A few had it on the back of their hands, only visible because their gloves were off. One trooper had the symbol tattooed on the side of his neck just below his ear, barely peeking out of the collar of his blacks.

It was amazing. As much as you believed that each trooper was their own man with their own rights and destiny...the hard fact was that they were indeed clones that looked very similar. The last thing you wanted was your blind date to think it made no difference to you, that a clone was a clone. So you were trying your very best to find him on your own as soon as you could.

“Hey there,” a trooper greeted. You glanced his way and offered a polite smile, though you didn’t want to give him the wrong idea. There was no Republic tattoo, so you didn’t want to lead him on when you were waiting for someone.

“Hey,” you said.

There was an awkward silence as he remained standing in front of your booth, and you turned your attention back to him. Your gazes met, and you became more alarmed the longer he stared at you.

“Can I help you?”

“Are you _________?” he asked finally.

“Um, yeah,” you lifted a brow. “Are you Chrys?”

“That’s me.”

“Oh my goodness, I’m sorry.” You blushed. “I didn’t realize it was you. He said you had a Republic tattoo.”

Chrys chuckled good-naturedly, pulling up the sleeve of his military uniform to reveal the tattoo on his forearm. “I suppose that would’ve been more helpful information if you could see it.”

“Yeah, I’ll have to get him for that later,” you mumbled.

- - - -

“And what brings you here?” you asked, resting your hands on your hips as you did a once-over with your gaze, and being sure to add a playful wink in there. You weren’t entirely certain when it began, but you and Jesse had an inside joke of flirting with each other. It was just something you both liked to do.

Maybe it was the way the light-hearted jokes and flirts put you in a good mood, no matter how bad your day was before he arrived. Maybe it was the eye-rolling the two of you would get from any bystanders during your little banters.

Either way, it became a thing that only the two of you shared.

“I just needed to get another look at those pretty eyes of yours,” he replied smoothly.

“Oh yeah? Well you’re not so bad yourself there, hotshot.”

It was easy to forget the other troopers coming and going from the medbay as you focused on the task at hand and bandaged up Jesse’s wounded arm. A few more flirts were exchanged before you needed to move on and check up on some new arrivals. With a promise that you’d return shortly, you made your rounds. Dogma, Fives, and Echo were amongst the wounded that you patched up. Before long, you were at your station checking some records with your back turned to the rest of the bay. With eyes focused on the list in front of you, it barely registered that someone had approached.

“Excuse me, but if I’m clear, I’d like to return to my duties.”

Oh right, Jesse. He was all taken care of, so there was no issue with him ducking out at this point. You were ready to throw in another flirt for good measure.

“You sure about that, handsome? I’m certainly going to miss you...” you turned around with your best pouty face to see a wide-eyed Dogma staring at you. Your heart plummeted at the mortified look on his face, and your eyes flickered to the right to see Jesse perched on his gurney nearby. Your friend snorted at the scene, and you offered Dogma several apologies.

“I’m so sorry, Dogma. I thought you were Jesse. Your paperwork is cleared, and you’re free to go.”

“Thank you,” he replied, then paused. “S-sweetheart.” And then he practically scurried out of the medbay, leaving you a blushing mess and Jesse laughing his head off.

“Hey, Kix!” you greeted one of your good friends as he approached you. 79’s was certainly bustling that night. It was crowded beyond belief due to a recent victory that brought a wave of troops in on leave.

Kix ran a hand over his elaborately-shaved head. You saw his lips move, but his reply was drowned out by the blaring music. He handed you a drink, your usual, and you mouthed a “thank you” in response. As he led you over to the table where a group from the 501st were, he continued speaking to you. His lips were moving at the speed of light it seemed, so you weren’t quite able to pick up what he was saying. You could, however, tell that he was waiting for some sort of response by the way he gazed at you with lifted brows.

“Sorry, I didn’t catch that,” you said, gesturing toward your ear for emphasis. He nodded in understanding, lips turning up in a chuckle, before he came a little closer to shout near your ear. When he pulled away to wait for your reaction, you stared blankly at him. You still couldn’t hear a single thing he said. So you tried one more time to sheepishly let him know. Kix, patient as ever, leaned even closer. This time you could at least audibly hear his voice, but it was still difficult to make out any words.

You thought you heard “drink....time...crazy.” And judging by the smile on his face, you figured it was an amusing notion he was trying to share. As much as you didn’t want to be dishonest, you’d already asked Kix twice to repeat himself. You figured it was best if you just nodded and laughed along. So you did.

And the smile fell from Kix’s face. You watched as he nodded slightly and took a swig from his own glass, expression suddenly so serious. Your embarrassment spiked instantly.

What had you just nodded along to?

As Kix took a seat, you inwardly face-palmed. You’d have to sort this out later and admit you still hadn’t heard what he said. It wouldn’t be pleasant, but it sure beat living the rest of your life having no clue what made him frown.

CHRYSanthemum au tidbits because i am thinking about it again.

- there is a stranger equivalent, and they are sunny, but the name of the equivalent is "Something Else". this is mostly because basil is... very emotional, and he feels like he failed sunny almost as much as he did mari. theres something behind him and... something else, as well.

- since the roles arent entirely swapped? neither are personalities. when aubrey knocks on the door to pull basil out of the house, its a lot more forceful than kel. she will actively try to break into his house, basically. this also makes the shrinking violet route (hikikomori equivalent) much more difficult to access, as it requires basil to barricade the door.

- basil suffers from a chronic illness of some sort and misses a lot of school for it- so after mari dies, him getting shifted to homeschool is barely a change.

- i never liked the way kel being a cactus was brushed off in canon because cacti, especially ones that flower (ie prickly pears), represent hope and the ability to endure harsh things. so i emphasize that. headspace kel gets a hair tie with an opuntia on it.

- i have a similar gripe with white tulips so im literally having headspace sunny have a white tulip tucked behind the opposite ear to chrys. theyre funeral flowers, representing forgiveness, humility, and condolences. chrys has a black chrysanthemum, a flower representing death. yin and yang yadda yadda.

- so aubrey kinda. pushes sunny into the lake. uh. yeah. that happens like it does in the game. hero still saves the day, though! theres. a little more emphasis on kel and heros relationship and their reactions to trauma though.

- sweetheart and captain spaceboy dont have different personalities, really, but they do switch locations. meaning you encounter sweetheart first and spaceboy second. i like to think this is because basil had a soft spot for all those silly romance movies she was in.

- i contemplated making perfectheart a spaceboy clone instead and naming him boytoy but i figured that was a little too much.

- basil and sunnys confrontation is the most sunny talks the entire story. its noted that his voice sounds like its been out of use for a while... and that basils sounds similar.

Hello Chrys! Just a thought, what weapons would the listeners choose? I feel like Freelancer would pick the 'Humble Quarter Staff' purely because its just a long wood stick that just break bones and isn't capable of accidently make someone bleed. And Lovely would pick a spear( just a feeling). Any other thoughts?

-◇

This ended up being longer than i intended lol, I’m sorry

I like your ideas! Freelancer would fuck shit up with a quarterstaff. One of my favorite Wheel of Time characters has one of those so that’s probably influencing my opinion. And I think Lovely should have a spear, too.

Darlin’ would use a gun jk but could you imagine huge, two-handed sword. This is based on nothing but the fact that the OC I have for Darlin’ is very heavily inspired Gideon from the Locked Tomb, and I am absolutely in love with her. I’m in love with Darlin’, too. They could crush me and I would thank them.

Babe would have a bow. I just feel like it would be right for them. I see them as being level-headed and able to keep calm really well, and you kinda gotta be able to do that to aim and shoot and judge distance and that sort of stuff. I’m assuming—I’ve never shot a bow before. (I’ve used guns, though, before I decided they scare me too much. I was very bad at it bc the one I was using terrified me.)

I can see Sweetheart with a pair of sick daggers, all assassin-like, because I think it would be cool if stealths were assassins in some fantasy au. Or like the allomancers from Mistborn, if you’ve ever read that. Nice, well-balanced knives that they hide on their person, like up the sleeves of their clothes and stuff, just always at the ready.

I also can see Angel having a spear. This is also just sort of a feeling. I think they would look cool swinging it around? Spears are awesome. Their opponents would probably underestimate them, and realize they made a dire mistake very quickly. I’ve also been reading a lot of WoT (sorry for bringing it up again) and I like the Aiel a lot, who also fight with spears. So that’s probably why lmao.

Starlight should have a battle axe for no reason other than the fact that I think they deserve one. This is, like, the shortest explanation for my reasoning but yeah. Starlight with an axe :)

[honeylemonslice]

Ginger: Like she does every year. Aunt Daph and Uncle Chrys too. They’re family. 

Honey: Right, right. Of course. 

Ginger: Did something happen with Aunt Abby?

Honey: Er...not exactly. She just might have mentioned me stepping out of my comfort zone. And there may or may not be some huge end of the semester party coming up that I am sure Snicks will tell her about. 

Ginger: Sweetheart, you never have to do anything you don’t want to.

[vermvoure]

Vermvouré First years!

I made more  Vermvouré students! I would like to welcome Blake and Aiko!

Vermvouré First-year: Blake Erebus

- uses they/them pronouns

- Blake tries to act Cynical, but just comes off aloof and weird

- They’re actually a sweetheart

- They tend to get forgotten about a lot, Mostly because they’re so quiet

- Both them and Aiko have a fear of being abandoned, so they kind of bond over that

- They low-key idolise Malleus

- Doesn’t get sarcasm 

- Or any sexual reference

- Is Kind of an Air-head

Blaize: “Top or Bottom?”

Blake: “um... I like both parts of the bunk bed?”

- They can lucid dream like nobodies business

- They don’t sleep a lot, though

- James and Chrys like their company, since They’re not too loud or annoying *cough Blaize and Aiko cough*

- Might be a sweetheart, but like everyone else in Vermvouré, they can be very manipulative

- If someone’s really pissed them off, you can expect they’ll find out all the dirt on them?

“Oh, didn’t you hear? [insert something person did]. Ah! I shouldn’t have said that!”

First Year - Aiko Lovelace

- Absolute Chaotic force

- Her and Blaize communicate in internet slang and it confuses everyone

Aiko, at James and Chrys: “Ok, boomer”

Chrys: “what does that eveN MEAN??”

- She’s surprisingly very physically strong

- She once lifted Blaize when he wouldn’t get out of bed

- That was the one time she made Chrys smile

- Likes to annoy Blake

- Makes ‘inappropriate’ jokes around them just to confuse them

- But they’re both very good friends

- So if anyone besides her pokes fun at Blake, she will fight them

Aiko: “NO ONE GETS TO MAKE FUN OF BLAKE BUT ME”

Blake: “You know what, this is fine”

- If she likes someone enough to consider them a friend, she’ll be very overprotective of them

- maybe a bit too overprotective

- James views her as the annoying little-sister type, while Chrys just views her as plain annoying

Olive Garden Hell

Self Ship Fanfiction w/ @loving-azoth 

Chrys yawned, adjusting her short blue zip up dress and brushing out her blue hair. Looking for Jake or Max as she walked down the stairs of the mansion from Jake’s room. “Yo! Where the hell is everyone?” She called, seeing Max and Jake playing Mortal Kombat on the TV in the living room.

“Hey, we have to leave soon.” The girl said, adjusting her hair clips and tapping Jake’s shoulder.

“Hold up-ohhh hey, look at you looking all nice and shit~.” He cooed, ignoring the game that had all of his attention on beating his miniature ‘rival’ until he heard the TV ring out “FINISH HIM!” “You son of a-!’ “HA! Got ya ginger slim shady!” the brunette barked out her insult with pride. Jake tossed the controller on the ground standing up to be with his partner. He wore a semi-nice jacket for the evening, yet still looking like a brute. The brunette was admiring her winning, arms raised as she cackled, jumping up from the floor. Adjusting their sweater, that sat on top of a white button up. A look that was foriegn to the shortest member in the room. Eager to go to the restaurant just to get out of this outfit later on.

Wesker walked downstairs, hearing the yelling and other such things. His trenchcoat swishing as he fixed the collar of his white button-down.

The older male pinched the bridge of his nose at the loud commotion going on in his living room. “What is going on in here? Are you three even ready for dinner yet?” He sighed. “We have reservations at 7pm sharp and I don’t wanna be late.” He looked at his Apple Watch. “Jake, what are you wearing? That is hardly appropriate attire for a restaurant.” He then looked to Max with a softer smile.

“You look dashing Max.” He said, coughing slightly in embarrassment. 

“Dashing my ass, looking like a Sunday School kid. Ya’ sicko.” Jack snickered as he crossed his arms, staring at the man wearing the iconic trench coat. “What do you got against me, old man, looking like you're about to take over the world by midnight.” 

Chrys just giggled softly, smiling. “Jake, you look nice..” The girl hummed softly. “Max also looks nice, let’s all chill the hell out here.” Chrys looks to Wesker. “He do be lookin’ like he’s gonna take over the world thou..but in like a good way.”  

Wesker rolled his eyes and sighed tiredly. He was so done with this shit. 

“Let’s all get in the Porsche.” Wesker said, they weren’t even at the restaurant yet and he already wanted the bill to leave said restaurant. 

“Max is sitting up front with me.” The blonde male said, putting on his sunglasses, his son following suit also putting on sunglasses. 

“Better not be seeing anything past G rating up there you two.” Jake snickered to himself, placing a hand on the back of his partner’s shoulder. Leading to the expensive ride. As Max got ready to open the passenger seat he snapped his fingers, motioning her to inch closer as he murmured. “Ya know what I mean, That office is far from sanitary, and we don’t have time to get this car detailed soon sweetheart~” This caused the brunette jaw to slack open, sliding inside of the passenger side of the car silently. Face erupting a rose red. This caused the merc to laugh out loud as he opened the door for his significant other, allowing them to seat inside. “What a gentleman.” Chrys teased and kissed the Merc’s cheek and laughed softly, looking to the two up front as she scooted in.

Wesker, who had heard the comment, rolled his eyes. 

“At least we know how to keep the noise down Jake.” He smirked. “You two can be heard from the otherside of the mansion.” 

“Enjoy it while you can, Who knows when you’ll need that viagra old man!”

Chrys snorted and kicked her legs, giggling. “Oh my fucking God!” 

Wesker chuckled slightly at that. “Max dear, I think we need to start being louder to match those two’s energy huh?” Max spazzed in the passenger seat, arms flaring until they covered her ears and face. “I see none of this, I hear none of this!” Jake began rocking the back of Max’s seat laughing as he mockingly made ‘intimate’ sounds. “Malibu’s most wanted shush!!” “Make me Father Fucker!”

“Can we please God just have one normal night out, I swear to God.” Wesker said, Chrys whining softly at the ‘yelling’, she knew they were joking but it was loud and Wesker was getting annoyed and she was having a little sensory overload. 

Chrys kind of hid into Jake’s chest, shaking slightly. “Ya’ll calm down challenge.” “Alright, Alright! We can continue this later.” Jake laughed more quietly and he rubbed Chrys’ side taking the time to calm the destruction of the car. This gave Max embarrassment time to die down as well. Taking a glance at her partner in all black then immediately looking away. Thanks to the merc her thought process was a bit less than clean. Though it will get better once they get to the restaurant. 

The car stopped at the Olive Garden, parking in the front space. The four exited the vehicle as Chrys adjusted her dress, fixing Jake’s jacket and brushing it down. “You’re a mess.” She teased to the male.

Wesker took Max’s hand, leading her into the Olive Garden as they walked inside. 

“Can we get three menus and a kids menu for my son.” He pointed to Jake who was holding Chrys’s hand and kind of staring into space. 

Jake blinked for a moment, hearing the snide comment, taking this opportunity to use this against Max. “I’m sure we could use two menus Daddy Dearest~” Max stiffened like a statue that decorated the establishment her grip tightened around Wesker’s she glanced up at the ginger merc and calmly said. “I enjoy using the crayons sir.” She smiled, hopefully diverting the remark.

Chrys rolled her eyes. “Can I actually like get some crayons though? I brought my sketchbook and I didn’t bring any coloring supplies.” 

“Jake behave yourself.” Chrys said. “Both of you.” She looked to Wesker as well. 

“Four menus and two sets of crayons please!” Chrys hummed.

The Hostess nodded awkwardly and led the four to a booth in the back, running away as quickly as possible. Max glanced through the menu, then around the restaurant. “I feel extremely outta place here. Its so fancy” “What do you need a Kiddie Meal?” “I was gonna take yours, but I feel you clearly need it much more Sir.” “Don’t try and smooth talk outta this with using titles you’d give my dad.” Immediately she was defeated, burying that reddened face in the menu staring at the italian dishes before her.

“Jake, baby, honey, darling. You also like being called Sir.” Chrys pointed out, immediately knowing she wanted cheese tortellini, not even looking at the menu. “I know what I want.” 

Jake stiffened slightly at the last remark, coughing awkwardly as he nodded. Rubbing the back of his neck, trying to compose himself. “Ahem… What were you getting babe..?”

“Cheese tortellini!” She bounced excitedly, smiling all preciously. “But with no meat sauce, just regular spaghetti sauce.” She said. 

Wesker sighed, not even commenting on whatever the actually fuck was going on. 

“Dear, have you decided what you want?” the male asked the brunette, taking her hand and rubbing her knuckles with his fingers. She nearly melted at the subtle gesture of his, nodding quietly as she pointed at her decision on the menu. “The usual spaghetti with gravy.” She said The merc who quieted down his bickering and playful shenanigans skimmed the menu, looking and browsing. “Eggplant parmesan for me, I’m getting some wine too.” “What color?” “Red duh. Goes with the meal.” Wesker sighed. “Bold of you to assume you’re getting wine with how you’ve been acting kid.” He scoffed and looked at his son, who glared back at him. 

He looked back to Max with a softer expression, ruffling the girl’s brunette hair and pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. “You sure you don’t want something more expensive?” 

Her head nodded quickly, her meak behaviour becoming more docile at the small displays of affection the male gave her. If the bottle of wine was at the table, there would surely be a competition on who is the reddest in color. “I--I’m sure...Thank you. Wait--a tea too please, raspberry kind.” She stumbled over her words, her brain short circuiting from his soft gestures towards her. Jake coughed, wanting attention once more, “Yo- If you two are done being smoochie babies, I’m getting that wine, If not i’m snagging it from your office later.”

Chrys rolled her eyes as the waitress came over, everyone ordering, Wesker letting Jake have one glass of wine. 

“One glass, you may have one.” The blond said, rolling his eyes at the threat. 

Chrys leaned against Jake more as she pulled out her sketchpad, sketching some people around the restaurant, mostly just sketches of Jake though, he was fun to draw, man. 

“This is utter chaos already.” Chrys said sleepily, sipping on her Diet Coke. 

Wesker nodded in agreement. “We can never have a normal dinner.” He added. 

“Gotta make up for all those dinners you missed with me old man.” The merc snickered, watching his significant other sketch away with the crayons. Chin resting on his hand as he stared in awe. Enjoying the little moment of her just drawing. Max watched as well, enjoying that Jake wasn’t roasting the heavens out of her. Taking a moment to look up at the blonde, then looking back down immediately as their gaze met for a moment. Taking her tea and sipping straight from the straw. Quenching her thirst, inside and out. Hopefully.

Wesker once again ruffled the brunette’s hair, humming softly as he sipped his own wine. 

--

“Dessert?” The waitress asked, the dinner being surprisingly nice. 

“I want chocolate cake..” Chrys mumbled, looking to Wesker who nodded in agreement. 

“Do you want any?” He asked the shortest female, his eyes falling onto hers. Hearing the mention of dessert and the following title of cake, made her eyes widen staring over to the male in all black. Immediately that was a yes from her, no questions asked. “Only--if that’s ok-if it’s unless its too expensive I’ll wait until we get home!” Jake had no hesitation and just went “Oh my god-Yes.... Give me that cake, that sounds fan-fucking-tastic” He sighed, being a rarity to indulge in dessert and sugary consumptions. Being a merc and having to maintain his physique for missions. Rarely ever having a soda. Not because he didn’t like them, no he loved them. He just had to be mindful. “Cheesecake for me. I hope you don’t mind I’m snagging a bite from all of yours” 

“Language.” was all Wesker had to say to that, nodding.

Chrys hummed, kissing Jake’s cheek softly. “You can have some of mine.” She said gently, never being able to keep that ‘tough girl’ act up around him. He could always see right through it. 

They all ordered their cakes, getting them about ten minutes later.

Wesker took a piece from his cake on his spoon, holding it up to Max’s mouth. 

Max eyed the spoon, then up to the blonde. Becoming flustered. It was only a spoon, with cake. Yet it was always so intimidating to her. She held his hand holding his wrist, as she took the offering of cake. Many times this gesture has happened and it still made her a mess. Jake was scarfing down the sugary masterpiece of cake, as if it was the last thing in the world. “Holy shit--goddamn that is fantastic-babe please, i never say please but can i get a piece of that. Oh my god.” 

Chrys handed the rest of hers over to the Merc, smiling warmly. 

“No no...just a piece- i’m just taking a sliver” He spoke, his actions following his words. “see - see… just a sliver.” He said, taking his spoon, slicing the cake and taking it, pushing it back to his partner. “It is dangerous here, oh god that cake, get that away from me.” He said as he ate the piece he swiped. 

“Babe, you’re not even a Merc anymore, why does it matter?” She asked, cocking her head. 

Wesker chuckled softly at his son, smoothing out his hair and pulling off his trenchcoat as it was getting hot in the restaurant. 

“She’s right, you stay at home all day playing video games with your girlfriend.” Wesker added. 

Jake waved his finger in the air, “Ah-I got to maintain a rep.” “Wait--what reputation. You roasting me all day, or you losing in Mortal Kombat?” Both hands of the ginger held the table, his head tilting. “Oh...you want some more pip squeak?” “You guys, no that’ll ruin the trip dudes.” Chrys said, taking Jake’s hand and leaning against him, nuzzling into the nape of his neck. “Calm down Jakey.” 

Jake sighed then nodded, “alright-later. You-me, later.” Max just stared at the male sitting across from her, then mumbled. “ I don’t wanna see you later. Simp” He blinked then looked over to the blue haired companion. Needing help on this one. “The hell is a simp?” He asked, these newer lingo and slang not coming to him. Barely understanding 80’s lingo.

“You’re nice to me for sex.” She explained, giggling. “That’s a Simp.” 

“Oof.” The brunette said quietly sliding in her seat ever so slightly, not wanting to look improper next to the sophisticated man beside her. “I-what--I’m not nice cause-a That..babe-no- what. Fuck you I’m not this shrimp.” “Simp” “Whatever midget.”

Wesker pulled the brunette closer to him, wrapping his arm around her waist. “Calm down kids.” He said, sipping his wine. “Why is Chrys the only well behaved one out of all of you?” Chrys grinned, giving finger guns. “Trauma, baby.” 

“Gotta whip yours into shape, that's on your end blondie.” He scoffed, taking a drink of his glass of wine. 

“At least I’m not ginger.” Wesker smirked, reaching a hand out to ruffle what little hair the “merc” had. 

“Sounds painful.” The brunette commented, on the remark, then sat quietly in thought, shaking her head. “You and ginger hair...No offense but--no sir, please no.” She mumbled, staring at the blonde. 

Wesker just laughed, like a genuine happy laugh at that comment and kissed the girl’s forehead. “Precious.” was all he said. “You’re precious.” 

Chrys just smiled at the two, humming.

The waitress came over, handing the bill to Wesker who put three one hundred dollar bills onto the check-book and handed it back with a smile.

Max stared wide eyed at the money she saw then back at the male beside her. “That--was a lot, oh dear.” She said softly, then immediately added. “I’ll pay that back somehow oh geez--three hundred for some spaghetti….aaa…” Jake was shaking his head. “That was three dollars, at most.” he snickered as he swayed a bit, taking another sip from the glass, having asked for a refill when the blonde was in the restroom earlier. The rougher looking male not used to alcohol in his system, even though his appearance would say otherwise. “Geez, how did grapes get this good, fuck juicy juice. That stuff is shit.” He mumbled as he eyed the contents of his glass. “Please say that's not me when I’m tipsy, the most I did was asked if Charlie Sheen was my uncle…” The brunette questioned.

Chrys just took the wine from Jake and kissed his lips chastley. “That’s enough for you hun.” She laughed softly. 

Wesker nodded in agreement. 

“Wha--babe that's mine...Tha--that’s mine.” He whined, staring at the drink that was once in his hand, now in his significant other’s grasp. “Oh dear.” Was all that Max uttered. Watching the drunk complain. 

Chrys just chugged the rest of it, which was almost a full glass. “Now it’s mine.” She hummed, smirking cutely. “Sorry, thems the rules.” 

Wesker sighed as the lady brought the bill. “Alright kids, let’s ride.” 

“You're not Vin Diesel you bitch.” Jake scoffed, wiggling out from the booth, barely able to stand upright. How two glasses of grapes made him this drunk was incredible. Max stood beside her partner, watching the taller ginger, sway. Until he snagged the keys from the blonde. “Fuck-ya I’m Vin Diesel, see this head” He laughed, rubbing the fuzz on his dome. “ This is Diesel.” He swayed, until Max swiped the keys away once more. Causing the male to pout. “What--No..I wanna drive. That...I drive bikes man.”

Chrys panicked until her friend grabbed the keys from her drunk boyfriend, sighing in relief. “Jake baby, you’re wasted. On one and a quarter glasses of wine.” She commented. “No driving right now..I’ll be sad..” She pouted cutely. 

Wesker rolled his eyes as he held Max’s hand, his fingers again rubbing the knuckles of her hand as they all started walking to the Yellow Porsche, it was around 8pm now, night had befallen the area as the glow of the streetlamps poured out small patches of light. 

Jake swayed while walking, eyeing the Porsche. “This shit ugly.” He slurred out, pointing at the expensive vehicle. Max shook her head with a laugh then glanced over to the blue haired companion. “Psst….Not to be a rude being, but--He’s a drunk ass…” Jake turned his head then exclaimed, “My ass is fine!”

Chrysanthemum just laughed softly at Jake’s and Max’s comments. “Your ass is fine, and yes I am aware, this is why he’s not allowed to drink.” She said, playing with the male’s fuzzy head. “Jake, get in the car please.” Chrys said and pushed him inside.

Wesker groaned in annoyance. “I wanna go to bed.” 

 “Its only 8--aw ok. You can sleep,” Max said quietly as she sat in the passenger seat, Jack sat beside the brunette, while nuzzling against his partner. Humming like a car. “ I wanna drive~ I’m in a car~” He sang drunkenly while hugging his significant other. Max turned her head slowly. Watching the duo in the back. Her brows furrowed and holding back a laugh, then looked over to the blonde. “I’m thankful I don’t drink more than a sip--even though it could be amusing from what I'm seeing.” “I’m in a car~!” Jake sang, while making car noises, his one hand waving in the air as if steering the vehicle that was still parked. “Yo’ babe. Lets--lets get turnt tonight!” He snickered to himself as his head further nuzzled into her neck. “Am on a shoulder~”

Chrys’s face turned a bright red at the usually affection withholding male, he was an extremely affectionate and silly drunk, the absolute opposite of his normal attitude. 

“Y-You’re already ‘turnt’ enough darling.” The bluette said softly, kissing his forehead, looking at Wesker in the rearview mirror, pleading for help.

“This isn’t my issue Chrys.” He said, smirking. “Have fun with him.” He cooed, starting the car and looking to Max. “I feel bad for her, but not bad enough to help.” He grinned. 

Max tried to stifle a laugh then looked back over. “How---how does one help with drunken Jake?” she asked looking to her friend, while Jake held her tightly. Singing the song from Lion King. “Can you feel~ The Love tonight~ Yo’ Yo’ Dad! Fuck Scar, that you!” “Scar...The lion? Or…” “The midget knows! I Know my dad is a Scar the lion! Long live my ass!” Jake whined out. Burying his face in the crook of Chrys’ neck. While his hands played with hers “You’re a lion now?” Max asked, looking to the blonde driving.

“Apparently.” Was all the blonde said on that subject, sighing. “He’s limited to one glass of wine from now on.” Wesker said, parking the car.

Chrys’s face was a neon red, an obvious glow to her cheeks rose as the male was affectionate to her, he was never ever like this. “J-Jake..” She mumbled out, biting her lip.

Wesker just chuckled. “She’s as red as a tomato over there. Pure.” He said, opening the car door for Max, holding his hand out for her to take. 

She thanked her partner, taking his hand as she was hoisted from the seat. Standing beside the blonde. While watching the back door slowly open. Jake sliding from the seat an ever so small. “Wee” Coming from the male. As he emerged from the vehicle onto the concrete leading to the mansion. Once his bottom connected to the ground he rolled over, eventually standing up. “I...am free.” He said, with all seriousness, until a giggle came from him. “I’m scared now.” Was all that Max said, staring at the merc in the dim lighting. The front door light and car lights illuminating the group. “Be afraid pipsqueak, I...am...SIMBA!” He roared and broke into a sprint for the front door, a sudden thud erupting. “Yo...who locked this door. It hit me.” He whined, rubbing his face.

Chrys walked out of the car and up behind him, unlocking the door and helping the shit-faced merc up. “You’re a disaster..” She sighed. 

“So….Uh….Next dinner date-somewhere that doesn’t serve the 21 and over juice.” Max said softly, watching the drunk at the front door with his other half. Somehow going on about being Aladdin. “Yo-yo--how does genie get so blue, it's like your hair….” He said, his head returning to the shoulder of his partner. 

Chrys’s cheeks lit up even redder as she helped the male into the mansion, sighing exhaustively and taking him to bed.

Wesker sighed as he led Max into the house, picking the girl up bridal style and carrying her up the stairs.

Redacted - Listener OCs

I’ve been debating on posting all my Listeners or not, since some I don’t headcanon with nearly as much as others, but I finally decided: heck, why not?

Since I don’t have decent sketches of all of them, I’m going to post the picrews that I made that I used as inspiration for their designs from. I didn’t make these with any idea in mind, just bumbled around picrew, found one that looked neat or followed a link someone sent me, and halfway through making a character I went “huh that gives me [insert listener here] vibes”. Don’t ask me who, why, where, or how I made any sort of connections to the characters with these designs. Just know that it happened.

Angel - Angie Corina

- I don’t like how mean David is, so I've skipped most of his videos. As a result, I don’t have much on my version of Angel. “Angie” came up out of necessity for my Inversion fic, and it’s just kind of stuck. However, from the little I have heard of him, whether in his own series or in others, I had a very vivid image of what Angel looked like in my head for some reason. I actually made her picrew recently just for the sake of this post, lol.

I have a small headcanon that she maybe started learning a little bit of Spanish and Hindi after meeting Baaabe and Sweetheart.

Baaabe - Emmanuel, “Em” by some, “Emmy” by his sister

- He’s having a lot of problems with his family (namely his step-father), and has to babysit his step-sister Lilia a lot. However, Lilia likes to spend time with him and Asher, and Asher absolutely adores her. He’s Hispanic and bilingual (English+Spanish), and sometimes I imagine him working as a mechanic. Also, he can do some sick tricks with a yo-yo. I don’t headcanon any major stuff with this trio, mostly just small slice-of-life things. Asher and Em being dorks, them taking Lilia to a pride parade, etc.

Sweetheart - Chrysalis “Chrys” Prasad

- A goth/punk at heart, Chrys has a set of rings they never leave without. They’re probably at least bilingual as well (English+Hindi). They’re currently trying to figure out their gender identity, and is unsure if they should fully transition or not. For the time being, they wear a binder and braid up their hair when they go out or have visitors, or when the dysphoria hits.

Chrys is pretty timid and shy when around anyone that’s not Milo, but when they put their work coat on, they go into Work Mode and can muster the courage to even stand up to high-ranking officers from the Department. They become a completely different person on-duty, and take their job very seriously. They'll also pin up their bangs before going into work.

Sometimes I imagine that Chrys keeps a pair of brass knuckles on them, and will practice boxing alongside Milo as a stress/anger-reliever.

Lovely - Gracie, “Grace” by some

- Gracie is that student that always looks stylish and is always on time. She’s a hard worker and low-key perfectionist (maybe that’s why vampires are so appealing to her?). I imagine her as a bookworm, and maybe really into the Dark Academia aesthetic. As of the events of Inversion - Another Story, she cut off the burnt ends of her hair and is trying to grow it back out. (I remade her picrew just for fun to show that, lol.)

Contrary to canon, Gracie doesn’t like the idea of becoming a vampire and living for an eternity, and wants to stay human. The topic of turning makes her uncomfortable because she doesn’t want to disappoint Vincent with the truth. While I don’t know if I would really write it out, I plan to have it to where Vincent would eventually stop asking about turning her, and simply stay by her side until she passes away from old age.

Darlin’ - Willow

- She’s known for her cute face and rough attitude. When out and about, she sports leather jackets and rides a polished motorcycle, causing trouble and picking fights to find Quinn. When not causing trouble, she drives an old pickup truck. Contrary to canon, she and Sam aren’t together, and in fact she’s still hung up on her past relationship with her now-enemy. She’s not entirely oblivious to Sam’s feelings for her, but she definitely tries to pretend they don’t exist, since she subconsciously doesn’t want to let go of her old love. (Tbh I see these two remaining as just close friends even after Quinn is taken care of, maybe hooking up for only a short period of time.)

She used to do ballet when she was little, and began practicing dance again after she met Quinn. She doesn’t like to show this side of her though, only having the idea reinforced that it’s “girly” and makes her look “weak”, which would tarnish her gruff reputation. However, after the events of Vice Versa, she’s become more comfortable with enjoying her hobby. She secretly wishes she could dance with Sam one day.

I do imagine that she has scars, but I haven’t really decided where they should be yet.

Bright Eyes - Briar “Bri”

- The almighty pouty princess, she was formerly the daughter of a wealthy family who got everything she wanted except their genuine love. Wrapped up in an unhealthy friendship with her crush Frederick, this only came collapsing down on them after their turning. She was also immensely jealous of Ryder, Fred’s boyfriend that, much to her chagrin, returned to Fred’s side after they became vampires.

However, the three have since made amends and are a close trio again, with Bri being more supportive of her two boys’ relationship and all of them being able to hang out without any tension between them. (Since their story doesn’t exist on the channel anymore, I figured I’d just skip the drama so they could partake in other fics if I need/want them to.) She also sees Sam as much of a father figure as Fred does now.

Unbeknownst to most, she’s been forming something of a friendship with Alexis.

(I don’t know how I make sense of her hair from this when I draw her but I do somehow.)

Freelancer - Cora

- The self-acclaimed gambling master, she is a kooky mess that loves to let loose and relax, despite how often she does not do that thing. She’s terrible at forming bonds since she has a bad habit of clinging to people who are even a little nice to her, even if they hurt her. However, Gavin and her new friends are there to keep the bad people away, of course. Damien gets onto her a lot for staying up all night and neglecting her health. She’s a very “no thoughts, head empty” type of person, and moves to her own beat.

Though I love Cora to death in my fanon, as of Inversion - Another Story, her fate is unknown. I’ve barely even continued personal headcanons about the choice between saving her life or Huxley’s instead (nor have I thought about what would happen to Angie). I don’t know if I could truly make that decision, hence why Vincent’s progeny remains “Vincent’s progeny” in the William letters series.

Starlight - Stella

- Curious to a fault, Stella was...actually I don’t headcanon her that much now that I think about it, since she’s just been stuck in one place the whole time I guess. It’s been a while since I listened to Starlight’s early videos, I don’t remember what canon info we have of them actually. Most of my headcanons are about various happenings regarding the Meridian, which are usually angsty, lol.

Sunshine - Sunny

- Albino because I’m cruel like that, Sunny is a sweet and quiet, albeit reckless, ray of Sunshine. She strikes me as the type of person to carry a dream journal, and generally likes journaling/writing. I actually have little on her too, since she and Elliot have been stuck in Blake’s mind prison for a while, lol. I’ve also just been focusing on the vamps far too much.

Love - Eden

- Not much for Eden outside of what’s canon. I’m not sure what direction the storyline is about to go, but I headcanon that Eden still has a fondness for Marcus. Addicted to the feelings she had before, and the affection Marcus gave her, she basically overwrites her own programming and re-codes the Obsession so she can have those feelings back.

I also have a little headcanon that “Eden” might be the name Marcus pitched for her, when they were maybe deciding on giving the Asset a proper name.

Warden - Hydra

- I don’t have too much on my Warden anymore since I changed her fairly recently. I had made this demon character before and thought passively, “She’s cute, what if she was a friend of Caelum’s?” Eventually, I began to ponder their friendship and the deliciously angsty possibility that this same demon was Vega’s Warden, and the conflict she would be in over working with the same man that hurt her friend. And thus, my old idea of Warden became Hydra instead.

And that’s it for now! There’s a couple more listeners I want to make “OCs” for but just haven’t gotten around to it, but there’s also a few I don’t intend on making since I’m not super into their storylines. I’ve been thinking about drawing them all together somehow, but I’m not sure how yet.

-Edit-

Dreamer/Blake’s Listener - Jessamine “Jessi”

- Not much on her quite yet since I’m kinda waiting for more info on his listener...but this picrew is kinda vibing with me for now.

Just kidding! Guess I’ll shove personality into her myself then!

My version of Dreamer is goofy and soft-spoken. She loves modding clothes, whether for everyday wear or cosplays, and her talent is making music. Though she uses different software for her music-making, she’s technically a drummer.

She has a younger sister, but I don’t have the details of her home/family life yet.

Honey - Amy

- A sassy and sarcastic girl that’s probably a tsundere tbh. While her boyfriend works at a pizza place, she earns her paycheck as a streamer. (Guy takes part as one of her mods sometimes.) Don’t have too much more on her since I very recently made her a thing.

[loving-jack-kelly]

Me creating OCs: This is Chrysanthemum he goes by Chrys and has pink hair because it’s his favorite color and also because his name is a flower that comes in pink but he’s also a jock and also the biggest sweetheart on the planet and this is his boyfriend Barnard who goes by Barn and he’s a feral little bastard who presents as very quiet and put together but one hundred percent has eaten chalk because Chrys told him he was too coward to do it

1k Followers Celebration!!

I am,,,,,, stunned

When I first started this blog, all I wanted in the whole world was to get to 1k, and honesty, I never thought I would get there. To know this many fantastic writers is,, beyond me 

Some quick shoutouts to some star mutuals of mine because I love them to death 

@ellfewritings - Elle is so near and dear to my heart. She’s such a treasure, and she’s been so supportive of me ever since I’ve met her. She’s an incredible writer and she crafts these really complex and interesting character relationships that never fail to leave me hooked.

@fluffythewritingplant​ - Chrys is so funny and smart and reading her work feels like I’m being told a story by a close friend. Her characters are intimately crafted and they really feel real

@confunderewrites - Ariadne is so kind and she always makes me smile. She’s really good at showing off what’s inside her character’s heads, and I really feel like I understand what’s happening between the lines

@mvcreates - Mina is a writeblr favorite and for good reason!! She leaves such insightful comments and I always look forward to what she has to say. Her own writing is full of nuance and subtlety, and I love the way her writing conveys So Much by saying so little.

@hyba - Hyba is my mutual that I always feel like is too cool for me lol. Their writing is so subtly sinister, and I always feel like something is creeping up behind me when I read it

@pat-writes - Pat is so great I cherish them sm. Their writing covers serious topics, but they do it in such a fun and quirky way that you don’t even realize that you learned something. 

@clarissalopeswriter - Clarissa is such a sweetheart to everyone she meets. Her worldbuilding is incredibly thorough and enticing, and I cannot *wait* to read her work.

So, onto the celebration! Surprise, it’s edits. Shocking, I know. 

The only thing you have to do to get an edit is be following my blog (new followers welcome :) ) and drop by my ask box with the details. Lots of blogs do this giveaway style which is probably smart, but I’d love to do a ton, so let’s see if this gets out of hand, haha. 

Look below the cut for details on the edits I’m offering! 

We’ve got a lot of edit options for this celebration because I’m very excited !!! It’s the biggest edit celebration on my blog yet !! 

1 - book covers! Thanks to @confunderewrites for this idea, it never even crossed my mind. So, I can do full covers with a spine and a back, or I can do just front covers for digital spaces. I put some examples below with covers for my own books. 

information i’ll need: full cover or front cover, title, author (your tumblr url is fine if you want), if you want any words (ex, a synopsis or quote) on there, and any other details! If you have an exact vision for your cover then maybe send me a sketch of it? 

Also, please let me know if there’s any possibility of you actually using this cover for something, because if so, I’ll make sure to use images and fonts that are public domain and everything. If not, I’ll just go hog wild with the image stealing, haha 

2 - Name aesthetics! I’ve done name aesthetic moodboards before, but I thought it might be fun to do a proper edit set. Here’s one I’ve done for myself. 

All I need for this is your name! The fun of name aesthetics is that I just get to play around with what vibes your name gives off to me. 

2A - Personal aesthetics. Like the name aesthetics, but if you wanted to give me some more information about you so that I could make a more personally crafted edit. You can give any information you want showcased. 

(for those you can send in your name or an OC’s name. This one isn’t strictly writing related but I think they’re fun for everyone, haha) 

3 - Classic quote edits. Send me an OC + what they look like and some sort of quote to overlay on it, and I’ll mash them together somehow. 

Examples I’ve done for pals: x x x

 4 - doodle gifs. You know where it’s a picture and it’s got some sort of white moving gif onit? I love these they’re too cute aha. 

Examples: x x (that second one is from my personal blog) 

for that you can dm the pictures to me and I’ll do something cute on them, or if you wanted to drop by and explain broadly what you’re looking for I can put some pictures together for you 

5 - polaroid edits. We all know I love polaroid edits. I’ve made like. a lot. 

examples: x x 

For this one, you can send me specific pictures, but they’re pretty easy to make so if you already have the pictures picked out, it’s pretty much done lol. I think it might work best if you drop by and say what your story is about + maybe a short quote or two, and then I can work off that. 

So yeah !! That’s what we’re doing!! I’m so excited !! please send in stuff don’t hesitate !! I love making edits for others it’s so fun !! 

Depending on how many I get, it might take me a hot sec, but I really would like to offer this to all my followers.
